the remainder Of the profits were to be
equally divided upon the total amount Of
wages paid and capital employed. Recently
the company declared dividend of 5 per
cent on salaries to employees, which has been
paid in cash or IN cert fcates bearing inter-

return to full time when they were told that
other manufacturers had abandoned the
eight-hour plan, and have worked to more
advantage than ever before. Mr.. Nelson
has added several new features to his plan

THE COURTS APPEALED TO
ORDERS ISSUED FOR THE ARREST
OF LEADING KNIGHTS.

President McCready, of the Old Dominion
Line, Charges Them with Conspiracy
The Strike Likely to Spread to the
Elevated Roads-Notes from the Field
OF Labor.
New YORK. Jan. SI.-The newest feat
ure in the great strike along shore is the is
suing OF an oruer for th earrest Of James Z.
Quinn, master workman Of district assembly
-; John J. McKenna, master workman Of
the Ocean association, and j. 7. Putnam,
Thomas McGrath and Patrick Mcfarland,
OF the board Of arbitration and strikers OF
assembly ~. The order was obtained in a
civil suit for $4,000 damages brought
by President McCrsady Of the Old Dominion
Iine, in the United States circuit
court, and the men are charged with unlaw-
ful conspiracy. The complaint recites that
President Nc Cready is informed and believes
that the defendants have conspired to destroy
and injurs the property Of the Old Dominion
line OF steamships, and prays that the ac-
cused may be held to bail to insure their ap-
psarnnce in court at the time of trial. Judge
Shipman granted an order Of arrest and
fixed bail at $500 in each case. No special
effort was mlde Friday to arrest the men.
They knew what was in store for them, and
were going about busily hunting up bail.
They will undoubtedly surrender them
selves
Quinn was arrested at noon Saturday by .
deputy United States marshal and released
on s5, 600 bail
There Is soms likelihood that the strike
will spread to the Elevated railroads.
Friday the traekmen refused to obey an
order 70 proceed to One Hundred and Fifty
fifth street and load coal. They number $50
and il they strike all the other employees Of
the Elevated roads, it is feared, will go out

drove Charles X from the throne and in
stalled Louis Philippe, not as king of France,
but as king of the French. This significant
change of phrase shows the spirit of the rev.
olution Of 1880 All sorts of plans for the
betterment of the condition of laborers were
stirring in the French mind, and at a very
early age Louis Blanc threw himself into the
discussion of them with passionate enthusi-
asm. He was then classed as Socialist, and
the aristorIatic party regarded him as a dam
gerous one; but time and experience modi-
fed his views, and he is now known chiefly
as a historian and social reformer.
The ardent reformers Of France maintained
some confidence in King Louis Philippe till in
1886; that year he consummuted the peculiar
intrigue which resulted in the marriage of
his son, Due de Montpensier, 10 the younger
of The Spanish princesses, and Of her older
sister Isabella, to the Duke of Cadiz, Don
Francisco d'Assis, There were well known
reasons for believing that this last marriage
would prove childless, and the universal
opinion of Europe was that Louis Philippe
had planned that Isabella should die without
children and his sons wife succeed her as
queen Isabella however, had offspring, and
the intrigue FASTENED the ruin of Louis
Philippe. The refol1ners turned against him;
his next autocratic move preciptated the
revolution of 1885, he fled to England, and in
the stirring scenes which followed, Louis
Blanc bore a conspicuous part, He was in
the prime of life, ardent and eloquent, and
obtained the title Of "Tribune of the People"
He advocated an extremely democratic re-
public, with some provisions for the special
protection of the laborer; and we find some
of his schemes embodied in the government
actually adopted.
At the ensuing election Louis Blanc and
Gen. Changarnier, with others, were candi-
dates for the presidency, but Louis Napoleon
Bonaparte was now at the front, the prestige
of his family name overcame all else and he
secured an overwhelming majority of the
votes. He rapidly augmented his power, but
in 1851 the coup d'etat took place-that is, the
representatives Of the people were arrested
and their supporters slaughtered on the
streets-the "citizen PRESIDENT" as he had
been called, soon became Emperor Louis Ma
poleon, the third Bonaparte, and Louis Blanc,
Victor Hugo and others went into exile For
many years he was little heard of. Then
came Sedan, and H. was Louis Napoleon's
time for exile; Hugo and Blanc returned to
France and did their work with more wisdom.
He died in 1882, and now the French people
honor him with statue in the Place Monge.
The ceremony Of unveiling was attended by
the ministry and both houses of the assembly.
The speeches were highly eulogistic of Louis
Blanc's work as a social reformer. His repu-
tation has rather grown than decreased since
his death, as the practicability of his plans is
proved, and he has warm place in the hearts
of the common people.

t'4' are "byes," ''4n being the home "bye"
and the termination Of the runners journey
around what was then the square, and not
the diamond
The pitcher-he was usually called the
"bowlder," relic, of cricket nomenclature
stood at B and the catcher stood at C. There
were no regular outfielders, and the game
could be played by six boys-three on a side
But while half dozen could play the game,
half dozen rarely did and the number was
often twent or more In such a case the
field was covered by the superlluous players
as they chose
And now for the rules and workings Of the
game. The two best players were selected to
"choose sides and they sometimes decided
who should have first choice Of players by
tossing up a stone, upon which one of
them had solemnly spat. One called out
"wet" and the other dry the falling Of the
stone decided the matter. But the more COM
mon method was for one of the two "chOosers'
to toss a ball club into the air; the other
would catch it and then there was a superim-
posing of grasped hands. This method was
called choosing up" and the one who held
the club last had first choice. But lie had to
have firm grip, and it was decided whether
he had a fair hold by his ability to toss it
over his head. If he had hold by but one fin
ger he often failed. Sometimes this impor-
tant matter was settled by Striving down.
If the grasp on the club was less than full
hand mo allusion to the great game Of poker
intendeD, it was not enough The accom-
panying cut will best explain this.

Jokes at the Dinner Table.

Frequently dining table eccentricitles are
turned into practical jokes. At a little din.
ner given recently the guests were in con.
tinual roar Of laughter. The chocolate
cream candles were stuffed with cotton, the
lemon drops were made of gum guaiacum,
and the candied almonds were filled with To.
basco sauce. Vegetables in covered dishes
were placed on the table with each course,
and the guests were asked to assist In serving
them. In removing the covers live eel, an
enormous bullfrog and huge lizard from
Lake Ontario were disclosed. All were ex-
tremely lively. The eel slipped within the
low cut waistcoat Of the sheriff, the bullfrog
landed on Fish Commissioner Murphy's
shoulder, and the lizard shot into the bosom
Of Senator Gibbs. An old shoe, mildewed
and rotten, was placed before well known
shoemaker. He grew red in the face and was
about to treat lhe joke as a mortal insult,
when friend turned the old shoe over, opened
sli;'c The solo and disclosed a dozen cigars

fellow, who once whipped the yellow fever

Demand for carbolio AOid.

There has been within the last month q
most astonishing advance in the price of car
bolic acid. It was stationary at thirty cent?
per pound, but it went steadily up to forty
five cents, and then made sudden bound
few days ego to fifty-fve cents. The cause
Of this is the purchase Of 1000, 900 pounds by
the French government, the agents for which
have been for some time secretly buying up
all of 1t they could find in England, Germany
and Scotland. II appears that carbolic acid
is largely used in the manufacture of melen-
ite, the new explosive which sprung into ex-
istence at the first rumor Of war among the
great powers of Europe. The. main supply
comes from Germany, and the purchases Of
that country must have been very secret in
deed. ~ Globe Democrat

American Cooks Getting Ahead.

"Do you know" said a prominent hotel
man the other day, "that the American cooks
are rapidly supplanting the French and Ital-
ian chefs in the large hotels and restaurants
Of this country2 Two or three of tbe big
hotels in Cincinnati have American head
cooks, while in Boston the Yankee cooks now
have almost full sway One reason for the
previous lacl; of interest among Americans
in this branch of industry has been the ac-
cepted idea that nobody but foreigner can
properly prepare fine dish. The men who
have adopted the profession in the United
States have met with great success It's a
good paying occupation A head cook in a
first class hotel receives from 500 to $50 per
month, with his board and room thrown in.
The American cooks, it is now conceded,
have no supariors in preparing roast beef and
beefsteak, and they will soon excel in other
branches Of the culinary art. Cincinnati

The batting order came in the same order
that the players were chosen, and the
best players thus had first bat al
ways for the "choosers" would, of course,
always choose the best players first. Players
were out if they struck at ball three times
and missed, providing it was caught always.
One bound was always allowed the catcher
and sometimes two. If batted ball were
caught on the fly or the first or second bound
it was out also, and if ball were batted over
the fence it was "out". But whoever got the
ball first was din" and rousing bat was sure
to cause a general stampede, and afforded the
players plenty of practice in vaultng. There
were no fouls, properly speaking. If the ball
were batted ahead of the striker he was en-
titled to a run if he could get it, But "tick"
or "tip" was not hit. Who doesn't remem-

Of devotion to the Chautauqua idea and

the nature of the news received that
the buildings on the entire ground would go,
but later dispatches placed the number Of
destroyed cottages at fifty-fve and the loss at
5000. OF course this was bad enough, but
noimportant assembly buildings were burned,
and the proportion Of burned to unburned
buildings is small. One of the accompanying
cuts gives fair idea of the relative size Of
the burned district.

A runner was out if the ball touched him
or the 'bye" he was running for; but the

Sometimes he was out Of temper as well, for
the impact of a hard ball thrown with all

Of dollars worth Of unclaimed property is
now in chancery in England and other coun-
tries waiting to be claimed by some unknown
owners.
Among the names printed in the advertise
ment as those Of people entitled to vast estates
was that Of Ipresford SO be visited Parker
in his office, and its elaborate furnishing, the
presence Of over u dozen busy clerks and the
magnidcence OF Parker himself seemed proof
of the good character of the whole concern.
Beresford went away with a worthless hook,
for which he paid fifty cents, filed with
mythical names and mythical stories Of men
who suddenly found themselves millionaires
through the assistance of either Parker or
other claim agents. One part of the book in
formed Mr. B2resford that if he desired the
Christian names Of the various Beresfords
who had died leaving big estates, he could
get them from the agency for 50, Parker GOT
the 50 next day in his mail, and sent Mr.
Beresford list OF some eight names. Among
them was the name Thomas Thomas was
Mr. Beresfords fathers name and M. Beres-
ford, without hesitaring, gave Parker s. Oct.
last, for which he was to receive a certified
COPY of certain advertisement published
years ago calling for the heirs of Thomas
Beresford to come and get their money,
MI Beresford never got the certified adver-
tisement.
In the course of the trials that followed
dive indictments had been found against
Parker-a number of persons from various
parts of the country appeared who had in
trusted money to him, as had Beresford,
without receiving any return worth
speaking of. But, though every effort pos
sible was made to convict the man who
was said to have lived so long on the Gre
dulity of others, and although it was shown
that he had been an inmate of a state prison.
he was discharged because of a defect in
